This has to be one of the most under-appreciated little spots in the city. I highly recommend visiting and getting the personal touch of the proprietor, who seems to run the place all by herself. Amazingly original Asian Fusion menu. Soups are great, and popular for desserts, but my favorite are the rice bakes with curry and cheese on top, especially the wild mushroom with curry and the beef mix with curry. Enough food for the next day.

Nice locals spot with a mix of good beer at the bar and kids eating pizza. The pizza is very good, and you can get a big slice of any whole pizza variety. Go for the wilted spinach salad and chickpea salad and sweet potato fries, there's something about them.
